[vtkusers] Solaris 10 x86_64 - vtk build fails

[Karl Behler]

Dear All,

after a successful git clone, a successful cmake with all standard 
options, using gcc/g++ version 4.6.2 (GCC), my build fails after roughly 
2% in make with following messages:

As far as I understand, the crucial message
> In file included from /afs/ipp-garching.mpg.de/home/k/kcb/git/vtk/VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5/src/H5make_libsettings.c:46:0:

is raised by a conditional typedef in the mentioned .h-file . So the 
suspicion comes to me that already the cmake did not recognize correctly 
the environment not setting a couple of defined variables appropriately.

Has anybody recently managed to build vtk under Solaris 10 or 11 x86_64? 
What compiler is recommended? What environment variables to preset? What 
command line options recommended?
Any help appreciated.

Regards,

Karl
